It certainly is nice to think the Bush family could end up living on the street, where it has put so many others.

fighting in the streets and mayhem because

Why attack Iran's nuclear facilities when striking their oil infrastructure would be much more effective in the scope of a US-led preventive war?       Sure, oil prices might skyrocket and the world economy might collapse. But, hey, that's the price you pay for security.         Such a scenario is not a nightmare or an outtake from a remake of Stanley Kubrick's "Dr. Strangelove," but part of a serious recommendation     made by two neoconservatives in case sanctions fail to persuade Iran to abandon its enrichment of uranium, a process that can be used to       make nuclear weapons or fuel for peaceful energy production.         In a July report titled "The Last Resort: Consequences of Preventive Military Action Against Iran," and published by the neoconservative       Washington Institute for Near East Studies, scholars Patrick Clawson and Michael Eisenstadt advocate military strategies that would       ultimately discourage Tehran from pursuing any future non-civilian nuclear activities:         Because the ultimate goal of prevention is to influence Tehran to change course, effective strikes against Iran's nuclear infrastructure may       play an important role in affecting Iran's decision calculus. Strikes that flatten its nuclear infrastructure could have a demoralizing effect,      and could influence Tehran's assessment of the cost of rebuilding. But the most effective strikes may not necessarily be against nuclear      facilities. Iran is extraordinarily vulnerable to attacks on its oil export infrastructure.... The political shock of losing the oil income could      cause Iran to rethink its nuclear stance—in ways that attacks on its nuclear infrastructure might not.         And if an attack on the oil facilities of a country with some of the world's largest reserves leads to a huge spike in oil prices, sends gas prices     up to 10 bucks a gallon and brings economic ruin in the rest of the world, the report continues, well, so be it:         To be sure, in a tight world oil market, attacking Iran's oil infrastructure carries an obvious risk of causing world oil prices to soar and hurting      consumers in the United States and other oil-importing countries.... If the choice is between higher oil prices and a Middle East with several      nuclear powers, higher oil prices and reduced economic growth are not clearly the greater evil.

the eco-destruction that would ensue from bombing Iran's oil infrastructure is horrific, beyond the horrific death toll of innocents.

Would be to expose their voting records, individually and collectively.

Let's send emails, post to blogs and websites, and write letters to the editor. I would think that when people know whodunnit, that would help to get them ousted.

But we've got to keep it up and we've got to be vigilant, and we can't do it alone.

Let's recruit lots of help to do this, asking other on-line activists to join forces with us in a steady, ongoing informational avalanche of voting record information.

Then we'll see them out of office, and the clean-up work can begin (Campaign finance reform, restoring the COnstitution, etc).

 Thank you all!!!
